You forgot to mention it will do 5 files at a time. :-) Now I can
figure out why there are 5 different versions of a file. :-p

Works great. Not 100% of what I want but 99% is plenty good enough for
me. Thanks a lot.

Chad,

IC-Prog has this funtionality built in, if you are using PICs. Select
your PIC, load the hex file in buffer 1, then change buffers and load
another hex file. Then choose compare, it will highlight each
differences between the files.

Thanks Igor,

I checked it out. Looks nice. I may be interested in it also.

But, I was looking for a program to load 2 Intel Hex format files as if
they were memory images then show me where they differ. It is for my
new idea of reverse version control. :-p

Thanks, I will check it out.

He he he he. Ya, I know. Love the GUI, but hate the guts. I am still
upset that they put the power switches in the most inaccessible place
and load windows on the machine. I need that silly switch about 1/2
the time to get back up.

Since this is Windows application it has exceptional GUI and it might be not
so boring as command line interface.

Actually, entire Windows is very exceptional OS. I know that because I get
this blue "Fatal Exception" screen all the time! :-)

oooh, that's all good software writers forgot to comment the writed

Same here. My Dell Latitude runs Knoppix and Mandrake with no
problems whatsoever. HardDrake auto-detects all my hardware,
including sound and graphics. I don't use a dial up modem on this
computer, so I have never tried that.

Meanwhile, my less-than-6-months-old computer also runs mandrake
effortlessly. All hardware fully functional, and my 5 year old
happily playing a game on it as I write this.

It just might. At university I got a course on ABC, designed by a guy at
the Centre of Mathematics in Amsterdam. IIRC that is where Guido worked,
or at least there was some other connection. ABC had a lot of the ideas
that ended up in Python, including using indendation for nesting. I am
still not sure whether I love or hate that feature. (Hate is more common
when writing code, love when reading. Reading is more important than
writing, so ...)

I am sure that your .nl has nothing to do with liking Python. :) I
think the Tcl is only used as a Windows to unix interface for this CVS
system. I would prefer to learn Java, but my brain has yet to grasp
the subtleties.

I only take exception to your opinion of Perl, it seem to fill a niche
very well in what it does best, strings.

I have yet to hear of anyone trying to make Microchip Version control
work. Am I the trailblazer(sacrifice) on this one?

Chad

Huh? I have two laptops -- one old IBM Thinkpad that I own personally
and one relatively new Compaq Evo supplied by my employer. Both work
just fine with linux out of the box -- wireless networking and all.

Oh, I guess I can think of one problem on my personal laptop and that
is the winmodem doesn't work off the bat. I know that I *could* get
it working but I don't worry about it since I haven't used a modem in
several years.
